Bezdek's axial-symmetry conjecture for plane sections of convex bodies

From papers

Let KR3K\subset \mathbb{R}^3 be a convex body. A plane section means the intersection of KK with an affine plane, and an axis of symmetry is a line in that plane whose reflection preserves the section. Bezdek's conjecture. If all plane sections of KK have an axis of symmetry, then KK is an ellipsoid or a body of revolution. This conjecture asks whether axial symmetry of every plane section forces one of these global forms; the supplied source gives no resolution status.
